Hedge Trimming
Overgrown hedges, shrubs and bushes cut back and shaped, at any height. We haul every clipping away. One-time jobs for homes and businesses across our New Jersey service area.
No hedge too tall
Privacy hedges get away from people fast. We trim hedges, shrubs and bushes of any height, including tall arborvitae and privet screens that a homeowner can't safely reach from a ladder.
Shaped so the bottom stays full
Rutgers Cooperative Extension says formal hedges should be pruned so sunlight reaches every part of the plant. That means shaping a hedge a little narrower at the top than the bottom, so the lower branches don't thin out.
Timed for flowering shrubs
Spring-flowering shrubs like forsythia and lilac set next year's flowers soon after they bloom. Rutgers advises pruning them right after flowering and not from mid-August through leaf fall. We time the work so you don't lose next spring's blooms.
Clippings hauled away
Every clipping leaves with us. You get clean beds, lawns and walkways, not piles at the curb.
Driveways, sidewalks and sight lines
Hedges at the end of a driveway or along a sidewalk can block the view of oncoming traffic and crowd anyone walking past. We cut them back so you can see out and the path is clear again.
Overgrown hedges brought back to size
A hedge that has gone a few years without trimming can be reduced in height and width so it fits the space again. At the estimate we tell you how far it can come back and what it will look like after.
Business properties
Hedges along building entrances, storefronts, foundations and parking lot islands are the first thing a customer sees. We trim them for businesses in every county we serve.
Add it to your other work
Hedge trimming can be done the same day as mulching, tree work or our other services, unless it is a very big job. One call covers it.

Hedge timing in New Jersey
Rutgers Cooperative Extension's fact sheet on pruning flowering shrubs says spring-flowering shrubs should be pruned right after they flower, and that spring- and summer-flowering shrubs should not be pruned from mid-August through leaf fall. Ask us at your estimate what timing fits your hedges.
Privacy hedges in North Jersey yards
Tall evergreen screens like arborvitae line property lines all over Morris County neighborhoods, and they grow fast. Left alone, they get wide at the top and thin at the bottom, which is exactly where you want the privacy. Regular shaping keeps them full from the ground up.
